How can you tell penis size?

Hi all,
New to the board and have a question for girls - how can you tell the size of your BF/DH penis whether it is 5 or 6 inches or whatever? I have seen just a few myself and I can't really tell exact measurements. I have been reading on some posts here where girls talk about those specific inches about their BF's penis. Do girls measure them or is it just their best estimates?

Thanks.

Wishful thinking, perhaps? LOL!

But my DH actually COULD last forever when he was younger. Sometimes, so long that it became uncomfortable.

Generally speaking though, you're right, the average is just a few minutes.

I`m still of the opinion that a size queen IS one for good reason, she ,herself is large down there... Trust me there ARE women who are huge, just as there are some men who are huge... A match made in heaven..lol. A good fit is probably more desirable than just size alone.

Actually, what we've seen over and over on this board is that some women enjoy or need to feel stretched to the absolute max to enjoy intercourse. So, really, if a woman has a very large vagina, then she wouldn't be stretched, but just have a normal fit, with an equally large guy.

With my DH, I guessed and then joked we should get a ruler and measure it when it was erect. It was 6 1/2 inches. He always thought his penis was too small, but I think it's perfect. :)

>>And leaving aside the issue of foreplay ( and I acknowlege totally it's importance) it's funny how most guys claim to be able to last 30 minutes or more during IC, while most women ( and most research) say it's around five minutes.<<

Yeah, I'm sure that there are things that confuse the length of time issue too. For example, I usually last, oh maybe, 5 minutes when we're usually having our 'regular' 20 minutes or so of sex before lights out. But if I *want* to last longer or if she tells me to last longer then I have no problem extending that to... well, pretty much whatever we want. 30 minutes would be no problem for me. I might get a bit puffed I suppose. I'm sure that's a bit the same for a lot of couples - unless otherwise inclined not too many guys are going to waste time and they're going to let go and cum fast.

Maybe some women do need to feel "stretched". But is this due to depth of vagina, and hence length of penis, or width of vagina, and hence girth of penis? Most women I've read mention girth as being more important, and so the "full" or "stretched" feeling probably has more to do with this. This also goes along with the generally recognized fact that there isn't much deep inside the vagina to be stimulated ( most women report that banging their cervix is painful). The G-spot and most of the sensitive part of the vagina is in the first few inches. Some women also get indirect clitoral stimulation from the pulling on their labial lips by the thrusting of the penis, which also suggests girth is more important than length. Not only that, but if a woman is unusually large and loose , she can improve the situation signficantly with Kegel exercises.

I still stick to my previously expounded theory that "size queens" probably don't actually orgasm from large penises, they just like the idea and the visual appeal of a big one.

I tend to agree with your thoughts but some women actually enjoy having their cervix massaged. I'm not one of them, but nonetheless, some do.

And yes, girth likely plays more of a role in terms of actual stimulation, but overall size, length & girth, to a size queen seem to be equally important.

And that's why I think the visuals and idea of a very large erection ARE more exciting to some women than others. Just as large breasts are to some men.

I've said before, if she is already aroused before the actual stimulation even begins, well, then most of the "work" of preparing her is done for her partner. So, whether he actually knows what to do with a huge erection or not, is really immaterial since her brain has already paved the way for a satisfying experience for her.

Haven't read any of the other posts, but here's my two cents: The only measuring tool I take to bed is my hand. XH's erect measured from base of palm to tip of middle finger (6.25 in); current man's erect exceeds hand therefore I can't measure accurately (tried measuring him using fists but then couldn't remember how many fists I used - so decided it wasn't important). Another man was smaller than opened hand, but then again I never saw him erect.

You asked what's up with fully exposed urinals. I've always wondered myself why many places don't have dividers up. Some that do have dividers up have narrow ones or have them set too low, and so it's almost like nothings there anyway. And some that do have decent size dividers up have the sinks and mirrors on the opposing wall at such an angle that anyone looking into the mirror can see what the guy peeing has. There are plenty of guys that walk into the crap stalls and just stand there and pee. Obviously so they can have some privacy. Some do it out of embarassment of their flaccid size. Some guys don't care, I suppose, but many guys don't like standing there peeing with a 2" or 3" long and slim looking flaccid and then some guy walks up beside and hangs out a much thicker longer one. i know I shouldn't, but I'm naturally a very alert person and my vision often picks up on what is next to me. I believe most guys can't help but see, unless they try very hard to just focus narrowly ahead at all times. Before PE I often went into the crap stalls just to pee. I had a couple of embarrasing times when I let my thoughts get to me I guess, and I walked up and pulled out my little flaccid and couldn't pee, with guys standing next to me. I needed to go but just stood there unable to, becoming more and more embarrassed. Say what one will, but at least I don't have that happening anymore. My flaccid is much bigger than it was, and I'm often the longest one hanging out at the urinals, and thankfully I have no trouble peeing anymore in those situations. I still prefer it though when dividers are on the wall, just for privacy's sake.
